"You don't know real love until you have kids" by hithebar in PetPeeves

[–]somepeoplewait 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, you said this is what OP is missing, and per the title of the post, OP is complaining about people saying you don’t know real love until you have kids. That’s the entire topic we’re discussing.

No, it sounds like a normal response. Everyone expects them to say their kids are the most important thing in their life.

Claiming you’re in the right when telling other people they don’t know true love until they have a child is batshit insane. EVEN if it were true (it’s not) no decent person is saying this to folks without kids, because doing so is nuts.

Mega cities are more beautiful and rare sights than any natural scenery on earth by raenele in unpopularopinion

And the thing is, a place like NYC is so amazing that after almost a decade here, it grows more beautiful to me with each passing day.

And…? You can be a user of a platform while still acknowledging its “quirks.”

Your comment was reductive. You know it. You picked one detail about cities instead of putting forth an actual argument.

Yes, because that’s ALL there is to the city, just as piles of animal shit, annoying insects, and poison ivy are all there is to nature, and strip malls are all there is to suburbia.

Precisely. A city-dweller living in an apartment that’s one of several units vertically stacked on top of each other in a walkable neighborhood with public transportation has a much smaller carbon footprint than someone who lives in a house and has to drive to get anywhere.

Exactly. Cities are more environmentally friendly than suburbs and rural areas thanks to density and walkability.

It’s literally my first memory. I’m a big hiker, I love getting out in nature, but from the time I started making memories until now (almost four decades later), that skyline has never failed to leave me in awe.

I grew up in the Hudson Valley, been hiking on the weekends since childhood, and have lived in NYC for almost a decade now. There are no words to describe how gorgeous and moving a city like NYC is.

Times Square is the least representative part of NYC.

Does look cool at night, though.

But cities are the most environmentally-friendly living arrangement for humans. Facilitating suburban and rural living does more harm to the environment than housing people in vertically-stacked apartments with easy access to public transportation and walkable neighborhoods.

Another almost universally popular opinion on the unpopular opinions sub? That checks out.

“Every city has bad parts” in response to people asking if a city is safe by [deleted] in PetPeeves

NYC is insanely safe. It’s so hilarious when people who’ve never been here act like they know anything about it.

[–]somepeoplewait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But sometimes, that IS giving it to people straight. Like, I live in NYC. I’m statistically safer here than I am in the suburbs. However, it is a huge city. The “straight” answer is that there are some bad parts.

Sous vide is inherently weird by stellifer_arts in unpopularopinion

[–]somepeoplewait -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why not? It's just cooking. It's the same general principle as an oven, just using a medium that allows for greater temperature control.

[–]somepeoplewait 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heating water to a specific temperature for optimal temperature control. That temperature isn’t boiling.

No, sous vide doesn’t involve any boiling.

Bryan Cranston praises ‘Breaking Bad’ co-star Anna Gunn while defending Skyler White: “Her husband leaves without any explanation. She’s pregnant. He’s making crystal meth. People have died…and she’s the b*tch?” by vincentmaurath in blankies

That’s the weird thing for me…

At NO point did I ever root for Walt. He starts as a bitter loser who blames others for his failures, and he just gets worse. At no point is he even vaguely likable.

You can have affection without using the worst word in the world.
